Thanks for the reply to my original message outside of this thread. Im still mightily confused.
I have loaded on V3 119 MOD which has confused me even more. having been told turbo not needed but use boost, the boost seems to be disabled yet turbo is all turned on lol.
So i have loaded the 205MOD as suggested.
I also have no physical timing adjustment on the motor. so its purely down to software, which makes me think i might need to run a tad boost or turbo, but not having a real understanding of how it all works yet i could be blowing smoke lol.
could someone please explain things to me, i feel terribly out of my depth.

Hi all
I have been away from racing for a while and am now just getting back into things with a losi 22.
I have opted for the hobbywing xtreme stock esc with a hw 8.5 motor.
I have tonight put the latest speed passion software on both the programming card and the esc but am a bit lost of programming setup for off road.
I have turned turbo off but it seems a bit lame. Do people run turbo with of road despite hw and sp saying not too?
Can anyone recommend any basic or detailed settings that are going to keep my losi as fast as the 7.5 and 6.5 motors that will be running Unboosted?
Thanks
Steve

I just got another LPF for my 4wd buggy and was curious about which firmware I needed to run. I have an 8.5 in it and was wondering if I had to run the 205 mod firmware or if I could just use the 323 stock with the boost turned down with no turbo? I"ve been told both ways.
I'd like to use 323 since I only have one LCD box and use it on my 10.5 buggy as well. If I need to use the mod firmware, what's the main reason/difference between it and the 323?

Plenty of new stuff....new ESC for sure. Iphone, ipad , android connection technology ESC....also, new racing kits from Speed Passion.
If you can come to I-hobby in CHICAGO next week, you will see plenty of the new stuff from us. Or...checkout the net or RC magazine reporting the I-hobby show next week.

You can use the same box to program speedos running different software. Remember, when you flash software, you connect the box to PC and speedo, and the software actually loads from PC. For programming, you just connect the box to the speedo and it will read whatever software you have on the speedo. I run 323 Stock generally in 2wd and 205 Mod in 4wd, can program both just fine with same box. Have not run 323 Stock with lower wind motors. They say you can, just be careful with the boost and turbo. Probably some setups for it on website.

I also had a chance to run the new 4400kv 540 4 pole motor this weekend, and all I can say is wow, its a rocket. I am using it with my SP 2.0 Pro, profiles in 119mod, 528mod, 205mod. It runs like a top.
Howard, get in touch with me please. I have a few questions.

Also, remember that Turbo only kicks in at full throttle. So if you have "too much" top end, you can lower your EPA to say 90% and the turbo will never kick in (unless you reprogram the ESC to the radio that way). I ran on a big track on Saturday and I tiny one on Sunday with 4wd with the same settings. I just turned the EPA down to 80% on Sunday and the car was super smooth with just enough rip for the small jumps and enough top end to clear the big one. I was able to TQ and win both days, so it works.

If I recall the 205 mod has a setting at the end that the lower setting is the hottest and fastest. I would run the 8.5 at about 3-4 and geared about 21/76 to 24/76 depending on where you are and how it feels to you.
If you try the 323 stock software it can serve you well with an 8.5 as well but has more adjustments. Good/bad depending on how you look at it. The advantage to using the 323 stock software is that for the 8.5 you can turn the boost and turbo settings down and then if you want to run a 17.5 you can crank them up and have a WICKED fast motor.

Kyle nice to hear your liking the SP stuff.....really cool to see the amount of you guys switching over from the brand T.
You can run 323 on one and 205 on the other like they were saying
On an 8.5 id run speedo drrs at 6 or 7 and timing maxed...geared in the 24-78 range
I run a 7.5 in a 22 with those speedo settings and geared around 22-78 and motor never gets over 115

Hi I just picked up a Cirtix Stock Club Race 17.5 combo. I'm impressed with the speed of this thing! I have a couple questions- does the ESC have timing or not? The red LED is flashing, but I'm new to 17.5 motors (got it for my daughter) and it seems awful fast for something that is supposed to compare to a 27T brushed.
My other question is what is the default lipo cutoff if any? The instructions are unclear here, there is reference to the other Cirtix ESCs but nothing specific for the Stock Club Race. I am worried about running my batteries below minimum voltage. This is with 2s.
Sorry if this has been posted already but the thread is 47 pages!
